Pinel & Pinel - Parisian luxury

The only French luxury label to make the entirety of its collection in Paris, in barely two decades Pinel & Pinel has built itself a reputation many would envy.

To find out how, we popped along to 60 Rue d’Avron in the French capital’s 20th district.

Smart leather goods

With its haute-couture bags and its intelligent, modern trunks which combine traditional know-how with the latest technology, Pinel & Pinel offers much more than everyday leather goods. This is as if high-end leather goods sat down for a deep discussion with high-tech. Home-videos, cigar or wine cellars, bars, jewellery boxes and top-of-the-range picnic baskets – the items created by this young Parisian company are as beautiful as they are fun and functional. Pinel & Pinel rewrites the luxury codes with unabashed casualness.

A different vision of luxury

Thought up by Fred Pinel in 1998, Pinel & Pinel is something of an UFO in the very exclusive circle of luxury leather goods. It puts its faith in making bespoke items, entirely by hand while using leathers and skins of great quality, selected from around the world. Here perfection is expected throughout the manufacturing process, from the drawing of the prototype onwards. This is why some models can take up to 1,300 hours to make. It’s a method that is working; a growing number of private individuals as well as the most demanding major brands from around the world place orders with Pinel & Pinel. The client list includes names such as Krug, Tag Heuer, Piaget and Vacheron Constantin.

A 100% Parisian expertise

Pinel & Pinel is French – and, above all, Parisian – know-how in its purest form. And it is in John Galliano’s former HQ, a huge workshop covering more than 1,400 m², that some 30 people are to be found working rigorously at creating these extraordinary items from start to finish. A research laboratory, carpentry, leather-cutting and assembly – it all happens here. One of Pinel & Pinel’s unique selling points is that it is the only French luxury label to make all its products in Paris. A singular label, making one-of-a-kind products.
